Upcoming Events

Ranked Choice Voting is now on Evanston's November ballot as a referendum!

Come join us on Saturdays to knock on the doors of registered voters so that they can learn about RCV, the referendum, and why they should vote "YES!"

If you've never canvassed before, that's ok. We're happy to train and provide you with the materials you will need. Just bring yourself and your smartphone (for an app that will allow coordinating).

If you can come for only part of the time, that's ok too. Every bit helps!

FairVote Illinois will be at the Oak Park Farmers' Market to raise awareness about ranked choice voting as well as to collect sign-ups to support the cause. We’d like to have you join us, or even stop by to just talk and learn more.

We’ll start off the day around 10:00am by meeting at 460 Lake St, in the parking lot at Pilgrim Church. Feel free to join and leave anytime; just look for our signs somewhere in or around the market.

(Since this event is held outside, we will not go to the event if the weather looks bad. When this is the case, I will message all the people RSVPed to the event and make a post in the relevant Slack channel. Please feel free to call 607-339-5001 to confirm if none of these options are available to you.)

If you’ve never done canvassing or tabling before, never fear! It’s easy to get started and our experienced volunteers can show you the ropes. We’ll also have supplies (e.g. signup sheets, sample ballots, poster cards); just bring you!

Are you a writer? Do you have experience in effective messaging? Do you enjoy reading work and giving feedback? Then Messaging is the team for you! Join us for our monthly update and learn how you can help us out.

Join our Volunteer Orientation zoom session to meet other volunteers and learn about the next steps of getting involved with FV-IL activities.

Meetings are scheduled every Tuesday at 6pm to:

• Present brief overview information about our organizational structure
• Learn how to connect with our teams through the Slack communications app
• Receive several helpful links for getting up to speed on RCV and how to talk to folks about it
  

Please RSVP to receive zoom link through your email

We will be phonebanking to help notify and mobilize people to canvass for RCV this upcoming weekend. The meeting will be via Zoom and the calls will be made using your own phone combined with an online system using an internet browser. No experience is expected, we can show you how to do what you'll need.
